Converse Chuck Taylor All Star CX Review - Converse All Stars are one of the most iconic shoes in the world but they are not known for their comfort or durability. The Converse CX line claimed to fix both of these issues, particularly with the converse disrupts BUT are they any good? I bought a pair and cut them in half to see what's inside aaaaaand it was rather disappointing. The Chuck Taylor CX ended up being converses worst rendition of their classic chuck taylor sneaker.

I fell asleep watching RUclips and woke up to a guy cutting a shoe in half.
Welcome!
You are now one of us!!
welcome mr president
OBAMNA
Same, haven’t left since
Converse will literally do anything except bring back the Chuck II. That model was footwear perfection to me and I hear positive reviews all the time, but apparently it didn't sell well
exactly... I'll still buy those if i get an option... & fail to understand why those didnt do good...
Chuck 70 >
@@RedStarr5 but chuck II are better compared to the normal chucks (not the 70s) the inner suede lining + lunar sole was such a comfortable experience... and yes the non slip tongue too
@@deepimpactdg I’m familiar with the Lunarlon insoles on a pair of Chuck boots I have. For sure, anything is better than the OGs for comfort!
THE ONLY CONVERSE THAT SELL WELL ARE UNDER 60$
NOBODY THINKS OF SPENDING 100$ ON CLOTH SHOES
THEY MAY SELL MORE SHOES IF THEY WOULD PICK A DEMOGRAPHIC AND STICK WITH IT
I own these shoes and they are very comfortable. They aren’t my everyday shoe so I don’t have any problems with the durability yet. Great for walking my dog, going out, indoor activities. So far they’re holding up well.
Update ??
@@alex-uu3es right!
Update please
@@raguram9343 he slipped and died
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou send Weston the shoes and let him determine the point of failure
I have a pair of these and I’ve worn them almost every day for a year and not only are they one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I’ve ever owned, they’re holding up really well
Yeah, i tried on some that were slightly small and i can still see the comfort. I took those off and ordered a pair of my own. Good to know they last, Thanks
same.
Bought them, love them.
THEY ARE NEXT LEVEL COMFORTABLE!!! I use these pretty much as indoor work shoes so they dont see any real abuse. After one year they are totally undamaged with no real wear.
They are super breathable, light weight, and one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn...They get a lot of compliments.
Yes, I love how lightweight, yet still supportive, and breathable they are, too.
Crocs last surprisingly long so I wouldn’t be surprised if these lived longer than you would think.
I've seen dudes in Hawaii wear a pair for Years and they really would last longer than you'd think, especially since we would go walking over sharp lava rock finding dumb things to do.
I wear my croc every chance i get and yeah they last forever I’ve never never heard anyone complain that there crocs dont last long. But you can have a real hard rubber thats made out of junk and it will last half as long as a softer high quality rubber
My pair of crocs shrank to the point where they didn't fit anymore after a few years, but other than that they were in good shape.
Pavement eats shoes. I've walked holes in the soles of both regular Chucks and Crocs. And I'd walk through these in no time flat.
I agree!!!
You should cut the Platform Converse in half!
Cutting the run star hikes would be great
I second that! Probably a lot more foam, but maybe an air cell center.
That's more of a challenge than just a request lol
He has done so already! There’s a video comparing 4 platform shoes including converse
Whenever I see any uprated Chuck Taylor like this I get sad at how the Chuck 2 flopped. I loved them, most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. And enough of the classic style while being a proper shoe and not a canvas sack for your foot. Here in the UK the price difference to the standard shoe was around £10 - and all it did was make the standard chucks seem incredibly overpriced.
let's sign an online petition to bring back chuck II ...
Gotta agree, it was such a good design upgrade.
I've bought the CX Hi, so comfy and light compared to OG and Chuck 70. But Chuck II is still the best-constructed Converse. Not as light as the CX but the build quality of Chuck II is like premium shoe. I even wore the Chuck II as my go-to hiking shoes for bird photography for 2 years, the only part that breaks is the sole. Not the best shoe for that kind of terrain, but the comfort sure helps a lot. The best Converse I've ever had.
But these CX is the closest to the Chuck II comfort but I won't be taking it to my photography trips.
I buy the Converse CTA the professional skateboard ones.. I've been wearing Converse for years and by far they are the most comfortable.
Foam outsoles are very slippery on wet surfaces, but apart from that, I kind of like the look over the regular ones.
Especially pavement paint. Like zebra crossings or lane markers. May as well be walking on oiled glass. You'd think that wouldn't be a big issue, until you remember there's a metric ton of it around any store entrance.
$75 seems like allot for fancy slippers. I do like how they look though!
Agreed. For 30$ this would be a great shoe. For 75$ it's garbage.
30 dollars is so cheap for shoes bro unless u what terrible shoes I ain't getting anything good unless on sale
@@hfjsjddnd3925 Yea, which is why this trash is only worth buying at 30$.
Now selling for 200 UK pounds!
A lot. It’s two words.
I think u can't tell if they would last long or not just by looking at them, I've had mine for a few months now, and I'm noticing absolutely no problems regarding durability at all, plus, these are HEAPS more comfortable than most of the other converse shoes.
I spent $220 on a pair of Hoka One One Sky Kaha boots. Billed as the most comfortable walking boots you can buy. The outsole was an incredibly soft foam with rubber insets. Within a few months they were in pieces.
Try Salomon they do some good stuff
I use Scarpa hekla gtx boots when hiking and everyday during winter months, I've had them for 3 years now. Best boots ever. I love Hoka clifton 6 for running. Had them for 2 years now and no problem. I just recently upgraded to clifton 7 :)
I like them. A white low would be perfect for throwing on and having a quick spring or summer adventure. I think a fairly cheap mod to really increase the lifespan on these would be to sand the soles down a little more flat and slap on a sheet of Vibram Raptor tread or whatever rubber. It’d add maybe $20 or so to the total cost, but that stuff wears so hard they’d last so much longer
How would you attach the vibram? Cobblers nails type deal?
@@lindboknifeandtool Barge
Honestly idc, these are still sick af. I’d still cop.
I love the look of this shoes, they legit got sold out in my country the moment they got released in November. I do feel like the regular chucks are slippery too compared to these pair. I like that it's so much lighter too although they felt cheap😂
how about the converse disrupt cx? im curious how different those ones are
The foam on the outsole is encased so I imagine that would take care of his main concern.
The stretch is normally on the crossgrain of a fabric,to allow the foot or body to flex during use. On the straight or straight grain,fabric will warp stretch and loose its shape quickly.
Foam is durable for Crocs, why can't it be durable for Converse?
good point!
I have now had two pairs of these, both the same as the one in the video except in white and with a green sole on the recent one. As a huge fan of Chucks (I own over 20 pairs) I rate these pretty highly.
They are the best Chucks for wearing in the summer. Yes the bouncy sole is comfortable but the biggest thing for me is the liner. That material is very slippery which greatly reduces rubbing when wearing then with low cut socks. That is a huge improvement of the simple canvas in regular Chucks.
The downside is the durability however it didn't wear out in the way you suggested, for me at least. The sole hasn't worn smooth but rather has picked up small rips and tears. My bikes pedals are particularly bad for leaving these marks. This isn't a major issue though. The bigger issue for me is the general construction of the shoe has come "loose" I guess. The layers of the upper have delaminated which makes them less comfortable to wear. I may be partly responsible because I did put the first pair through the washing machine a few times to try and keep them white and this really seemed to do a number on them. Won't be doing that with the second pair. Also the slippery lining seems to last much better than the standard canvas, particularly on the heel counter.
As you say in the video and other have in the comments, it's such a shame that more thought wasn't put into the shoe. There are elements to this that I wish they would take into all Chucks (e.g. the liner) and parts of them are brilliant but I guess what I'm really asking for is Chuck 2s to come back or even for Chuck 3s to get made?
Can you do the disrupt as well? I wonder was the extra materials do for that show
Question: how long does the tool you use to cut this in half last? How many have you blunted/broken since you started?
Love the color and the clear sidings💗
It took me a year to get ahold of these shoes and I really like them. They’re dope looking. Converse are always kinda uncomfortable and not very durable but I just like the style of them. It’s all I wear honestly.
A New Balance 990v5 cut in half would be good to see - probably the best built sneaker out there
Yes!!
Those are really common around here and I would like to see that too.
It’s a good shoe
I would have to agree. I just got my pair last week and love them
Dad shoes for the win!
If you ever decide to do more Converse, the Japanese Converse 'Addict' line would be really cool
I own about 5 pairs of the CX ones. And I love each of them. I wear one of them more than the most, but it looks like its gone through a warzone. I encourage them!
Love your videos. Could you review the Converse Chuck 70 plus in a future video?
Okay, I actually have a pair of these.
I’m a professional barista, and so spend my days standing on concrete floors. Usually 10-12 hours a day, 5 days a week.
These are the only shoes I’ve worn to work since I’ve bought them, and they are in great shape still! (If you don’t count the floor grunge that has accumulated on the walls)
and are your feet okay? i hate these with passion cause they made my feet hurt so bad
@@andij605 are you referring to the CX foam model?
does it have a platform?
Do have a vault where you store the half-shoes, or something?
This reminded me of my clear glow in the dark low tops I had in high school 🥲
Wow i would love to have seen those 😍😍😍
Phylon is a great ground contact foam, so is React foam. I have a few Nikes that have exposed foam outsoles, like Air Force 1, free run, epic react runners....and they are really durable. So I won’t be too worried about these chucks. In fact I think they are really cool and I’m glad to hear they are really comfortable. I usually stay away from chucks because they are uncomfortable to me and too flat, but i might check these out. Plus I like they tweaks and improvements done to them.
My Air Max 270 React started falling apart at the ball of the foot. Disappointed in that. Got a voucher from Nike for new shoes. Purchased the Vapormax Plus with the voucher and a little more cash. The React were the most comfortable shoe ever. Just not durable for me. I only used them for walking around.
🎉 I really want to get a pair of these chucks!
I don't like the look of a lot of the Converse shoes, but it is always interesting to see them torn apart and compare them to other. I recently bought my first pair of Adidas Superstar in all my life, and that was due to the Rose Anvil cutting video. I am interested in how they'll fit to my duck feet. Those Converse shoes seems like they have a similar slim profile to the Superstars.
I just read about a resolable leather sneaker! And it is made in Maine USA by a brand called Standard fair sport. It would be really cool if you made a video cutting them in halv.
Love your videos btw:)
I have the white pair and they are very cute! Not bad for the price point! I don't own any other converse! i like the look of the white pair! love the clear/blue rubber🦋💙🦋 and the orange contrast🌈😍
exactly!
My only issue with the CX is most of them look kinda goofy. They were made to be “extra comfortble”, but since I’m just wearing em casually I’ll probably just stick to my Chuck 70s. The outsole might be a bit heavier, but I like the shape and materials used on those 💀
I have been wearing my pair, exact same as in the video for as long as they have been out, and they are still in brand new condition. They got dirty once and I threw them in the machine, and washed up beautifully. I guess they made it with the foam so they can be washed and dry out fine without going bad or brittle. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about these shoes! I have really broad feet, and the stretch helps immensely. Best shoe that "I" have worn, and I have also tried a lot of shoes.
Had these for 2 years now. Solid shoe but my bottoms are starting to wear down a lot. I live in the city so I've put serious miles on these. I'd buy again.
I bought a pair of these as soon as I watched the video! Lol
THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!!
They are the most comfortable Chucks I've ever owned. And after about a month, I can't see any significant wear in the soles at all. I think the foam is harder than regular Crocs foam, and the stretchy material is way more comfortable than the stiff canvas. I really love these shoes!
Really great video BTW. 😁
Wow I really want to buy them but after I watched the video I had doubts. This helps
Just got my CX explore desert sunset. Comfortable from first wearing. The stretch canvas appears to be tough and light. I will be wearing as my primary sneaker for the next few weeks.
Hey, your work is top notch! Please do Allbirds next! The ecos wanna know what's in their sugar cane shoe! (I have a pair on right now!)
Bought these like a week ago, one of the most comfortable shoes I ever owned... these are at least as comfortable as ultraboost
I was reading that they run on the larger side. How's the fit?
@@nobodyatallvallejo3672 go a half size down from your true size
Update? Did they last a long time or did the durability cave in??
Anyone paying more than $30-35 for any kind of chucks is just getting screwed
Bro 70s only
Where/how can they be found cheaper?
@@naughtmeinam4603 earn more mate
@@romanschol8525 bruh.
Only the 70's. They are worth it.
So i have to ask, what glasses frames are you wearing?!
Hello, how are you? Good video btw, I still love the cutting in half part a lot. As for the shoes, I hoped they would be a bit more structurally sound but the design isn't exactly for me either so it's fine I guess.
Had a pair and used it as my go to shoes when working in hospitality, after a year or so the outsole is actually holding up quite well. However like with all converses the the foxing will come apart near stress points and the heel counter could probably only last another 2-3 months before it’s fully gone.
I picked up a limited edition pair of the CX Disrupt and I really like how they feel underfoot. I do wish I went a half size up like i normally do with Converse, but that doesn't take away from the comfort and style I was hoping for.
I love mine
New to your channel
You ever do Air Jordan 1? Mainly vs the Air Jordan 1 CMFT
This makes me want to see aj1 zoom cmft cut in half. Does the foam bottom have a air unit or just the insert or the extra air unit in the upper heel what does it look like under the fabric?
Love my Chuck 70's, would like to try these definitely. for me, it took some wear before I reached my sweet -spot comfort-wise. Also, I never pay retail for a Converse so the price is always right.
Picked up the Undercover 70 collab for a third of retail and I love it.
Tips for getting them below retail?
Do you think coating the outer sole of the Chuck CX in shoe goo would work to protect the sole?
😮
Can you make a video on the boot jocko willink makes
Interesting video! I would love to see a cut comparison of the most popular hiking shoes (Merrell Moabs, Keen Targhee, Oboz Sawtooth, and Salomon X Ultra).
And the Timberland Euro hiker, mainly women wear these hiking.
Fact: The Converse All Start retails from between $39.99 to $79.99. The low cut style is about $8.00 dollars to produce...
Your ellipses had me looking for more...
Those shoes price before many years was 10 dollars
@@carkeynosgr8799 1970 -- $7.99 ( $7.99 in 1970 is worth $54.16 today )
Used to wear them in HS, late 80’s, could get them at Foot Locker for around $20. Like many other products it looks like they cost more and are made cheaper now. This is about as simple a shoe construction as it gets and shouldn’t cost nearly as much as they do. They used to be great wading shoes for fishing because you could hose them off and let them dry and wear them as usual.
Funny, I used to comment the same thing--that they used to be like $20 and this was not that long ago tbh
well because of inflation they should cost around 50 dollars now and guess what. They cost around 50$ dollars now lol
Adjusted for inflation having $20 in the 80’s is around $67.92 now therefore original chucks nowadays are cheaper in price!
I think I have a reason for the white foam under the rubber insole. I do have two pairs of the low top and two pair of the Chucks All Star low top. I think your heel doesn't quite sink to the bottom of the rubber insole but the insole presses into the foam so as your foot is sitting dead flat. Walking around on a hard floor the Converse X feel just like the normal All Star as to how level your feet are. I also think the light foam allows the foot to sit lower. I just walked on the floor with a CX on one foot and the All Star on the other and almost identical. The CX has you foot very slightly further off the ground, not much though. So in summary I think the combination of the rubber insole is to increase cushioning over the All Star while keeping the foot dead flat and almost identical distance for the foot from the floor.
ive has these shoes for over a year wearing them pretty regularly and i think theyve held up pretty well better than regualr converse plus the clear part hasnt yellowed at all
Great video! God bless!
Any idea if these would be good for lifting?
I have a pair of DC slip on shoes (The ones that look kinda like moccasins) and they also have that super soft foam outsole. They don't seem very durable but i've had them for a while and have had no issues with them as far as wear
Yep, that brand Roxy, Hey Dude, and maybe Quick Sliver have shoes like this as well in big name brands and there are some Walmart brands of shoes in similar design to the DC version.
I have had them in mauve for 3month, I bought them hopefully so they would keep cleaner than regular chucks. The stretch canvas stains the same as regular canvas but the rubber outsole doesn't mark as much as the with one. I have large feet and the stretchiness adapt better to my foot with this model. the sole is easier to clean as well so not so smelly feet.
What moc toes did you have on? I’m pretty stoked for this moctober
What would you suggest for a person that's around 200-230lbs?!?
Or are their shoes just due for change within a years use?!?
Would you still suggest those pricey $200 plus boots for the lbs it will support?!?
You should test the abrasion resistance of the soles and other materials. Great video.
I have been here since the dog collar video, that inspired me to make it for my two Rottweilers. Your review helped me picked out my newest work boots (carpenter by trade.) Your have shown me why it was the wrong choice to keep using DrM... I have been their loyal customer for years.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
I live on a farm so obviously I'm not going to wear Chuck Taylors outside but are they good for house shoes?
I have 3 pairs of these now, wayyy more comfy than the 70s or Allstars. they’ve lasted longer I think due to the flexibility in the sole and the canvas. Easy to take on and off.
What knife do you use?
Would be cool to check out the Svensson classic lows. about $200 and are supposedly made in the same factory as common projects.
Almost buy one.
Thank you sir 😊
I think this was made solely because the disrupt is very comfortable however I think the it looks kinda weird and is trying to be trendy while the cx tries to take the tech behind the disrupt and put it into a more typical converse shape in order to give it that classic timeless converse style
I didn't see any videos listed. But have you looked at the Kickers brand shoes yet
I'd love to see you cut a pair of altmas or woobies in half since they are basically just tactical chucks
I'd really like to see you do a video on the Run Star Hike and/or the Run Star Motion because they *look* super cool but i wonder if their use of the cx foam makes them less reliable
Hello viewers hope you are fine
I'm gonna buy chuck 70 but confused in colors white or parchment
Please reply
Does anyone know if these would be good for jump roping? I’ve been looking for shoes specifically for that.
Love the look of these! But definitely disappointing how non-durable they seem. Thanks for the review!!
Ayyyyee sneaker Saturdays!!
They've already done Chucks with a rubber cup sole and drop-in Lunarlon/Phylon midsoles. Nike/Converse has been doing all kinds of stuff since Nike bought them, and Nike has done quite a few shoes with foam or mostly foam outsoles with little issue. Chucks usually fail at the heel, foxing, or toe-crease-area, so why not sacrifice outsole durability for comfort?
Worst part of that soft foam sole, they cannot grip some surfaces. If a zebra crossing is wet, those soles slip and slide all over the place. I love super light and flexible shoes so I've bought a number of shoes with that sort of sole. I found the solution from etnies scout is the best. They got the soft foam sole, with some harder rubber inserts at wear points. So they don't slip around like the others do.
The middle layer is to prevent squeaking of the EVA midsole. All my retro nuke shoes with a hard board last squeak like crazy at some point in their life
🧠
Have you ever done the Filson Rangeland Boots?
You could make the sanding test on the soles - measured in time until making hole. Great show! Thanks!
so, who best Converse CX or Converse 70s ?
I used to wear flat sole sneakers like Converse and Vans and developed knee pain because of them. Overpriced pieces of canvas and rubber. I now buy budget brand shoes from retail stores like Decathlon that have a heel and foot support for half the price and double the quality.
Hey rose can you cut converse bosey pweseee. Really curious what’s inside. Thankyou great content! Keep it up!
I've got a pair of Chuck Taylor II that come with Lunarlon insole and harder rubber outsole like a regular chuck. They are very comfortable. Came out in 2015 I think.
Never thought about Trekking Shoes/Boots. I like Mojito SCARPA and i use them as common everyday shoe but the quality is really good.
How long did they last you when you wore them?
TLDW: After Nike bought them out they turned to garbage. Inside of two months of light wear, I was feverishly gluing (my last pair) back together.
I always thought the Chuck Taylor II came about as close to super comfortable Chucks as these did, but more toned down fashion for more subtle taste.
Third iteration was the mos confortable I ever had. Still had them.
Great vids man, If you have heard of Eddie Bauer Storm Sneakers, i just got a pair recently and i would love to see what it looks like cut in half, its a great sneaker and i feel like no one knows about it. Its made with leather and wool i believe.
First time I’ve seen your video and felt you for it wrong with the outsole.
Soft but very durable. After 200 days on mine, they are holding up as good as my 70’s, except my 70s cracked on the toe crease where these don’t!
I think the white layer is there to be knitted to the body and add surface for the body to be glued to the sole, doesnt seem like the sole's material would hold the knitting well since it was so easy to cut. (idk if knit is the right word to use, english is not my first language)
Bro, listen, these shoes with those stretchy shoelaces. UGH! sooo comfy. Not the best for standing all day, but pretty good for walking all day. (I'm thinking, for like a theme park or going to the park, these are ultra comfy, took them to work once though, and stnding in place without moving, after a while, felt like normal chucks, walking is their speciality. These should be marketed as walking shoes for sure).
I wear my Converse CX at least twice a week for 8 hour workdays in a warehouse. Concrete floors. They're holding up pretty well.
How are they holding up? I actually reallly want to buy them. Hopefully they are more durable than he thinks it is. İt would be really helpful if you answer🥰
@@elifderya6743 Still going strong. Because of the softer material they tend to pick up nail heads more than a common Chuck (common issue in warehouses). They might not hold up for skaters, but for regular, everyday wear, they do well.
I would like to know if u can use mink oil on Jordan 1 85 models? Like how u use mink oil to break in Docs? The learher on those r stiff 😅😅
All the Nike shoes ive had that use a foam bottom tend to last around a year. You get a tad more wear on the ball of your foot than with rubber but not much else is different.
I'm really gonna need to know what kind of moc toes you're wearing in the on-foot shots in this video
i've been wearing them for a year and now i've got holest in my heels from wearing them too much, otherwise they're still holding up super good, only the foam sole is too worn out
